Chicago Hslald.

The Herald once more laid before It's
readers an exhibit of the quiet brutality
with which the colored man is treated in
Chicago. Probably his life here is as
happy as elsewhere in the northern cities.
The canting politician who weeps over
the wrongs OF Elizs Pinkston raises his
hands in horror whenever he hears that
white southerner will not accord social
equality to the negroes. This same
philanthropist, ii he keeps store or res
taurant, will not hire colored statesmen
in his store or serve colored patrons in bis
restaurant. The good city Of Chicago,
which sent so many soldiers to Stree
the slave" and amend the constitution
so that sill citizens should be equal before
the law, takes due care that colored citi-
zens shall be equal before nothing else
but the law. The restrictions thst sur
round respectable colored man and his
wife are Well-nigh Incredible. To realize
or conceive those limitations q white man
must put himself in close companiouship
with the victim of the prescription.
Theaters, restaurants, barber shops, and
even churches are practically closed at all
places north of Van Buren, street. No
trade or trade union is open. Money,
therefore, Is earned tolSomely, and
it does not bring the advantages
of white mans cash. Difficult
of requirement, the medium of traffic is
not q medium after it is obtained. The
other day white bulldog killed cat, as
many dog has done. The society to
prevent white bulldogs from killing
cats hiss now the responsible wrong doors
in its grasp and premises to improve
public morals before it shall let go the
case. But the society for the prevention
of needless cruelty to colored men and
women in Chicago would be more to the
end Of justice. For every dog that kills
a cat there are hundred white men who
enforce heartless exaCtions or ostracisms
on worthy negroes. It is the belief of
careful observers that s black mans
feelings are hurt oftener in Chicago than
in Atlsnta or New Orleans.

THE MAYOR'S SALARY.

From the expressions of prominent cit
liens and many of the big taxpayers,
printed elsewhere in THE GAZETTE to-
day, it would seem that the people Of the
city would endorse an increase of the
mayors salary to a sum beftting the
pretensions of Fort Worth. The
people appear to realize that there
are many financial demands on the
Mayor which justify the payment of q
higher salary than that now paid, and
that Fort Worth has reached a point at
which it should not ask of any man the
expenditure of money as well as of time
in serving the public. The dig
nifty OF the place S is to be
maintained, and 1t would seem that no
citizen would be asked to do this at his
own expense.
THE GAZETTE is convinced that the
Council would meet general popular
wish by an increase in the salary, as the
people evidently believe the laborer is
worthy of his hire.

To THE PUBLIC.

The management of THE GAZETTE mas
received complaints from parties saying
they had paid subscriptions to THE GA
zxTTE to one Skinner and had not re-
ceived the paper. We have no such
agent, never gave him authority to solicit
or work for us, have never received an Or
der from him, in fact never heard OF him
before.
The public are notified that Mr.. l.
Calhoun is the only regular authorized
travelling agent for THE GAZETTE, and
this office will be responsible for sub
scrIptions, ETC., paid to him only. Oul
local agents are known In their respective
localities, and are responsible to the sub.
scriber until he gets the paper. Parties
wishing to subscribe for THE GAZETTE
are, therefore, advised to pay the money
to the local agent or send it direct, and
shun all so-called agents who are not
known to them IS being reliable. THE
GAZETTE cannot be held responsible for
the actions OF those who have no author
ity or permission to represent it.

Unload Your Prejudice.

FORT WORTH. TEN, Dec. Is, 1887.
To the Dele gates TO Dallas Convention:
Disarm y ourselves Of all entagonism
against the railroads, be prepared to
meet friends in council, not enemies. Be
prepared to meet those who represent q
unity, rather than antagonistic interest.
If the railroads have done nothing for the
cause of immigration in the state of
Texas, bear in mind the state of Texas
and her people have never asked them to
do so, the general policy of the state hav
ing been opposed to, rather than favoring
the cause. We have divine authority for the
following truth: "Ask and You shall re-
ceive. knock and it shall be opened unto
you" AS with the kingdom OF Heaven,
80 with the kingdom of progress, of COM
merce, of art and science, and of all other
kingdoms, when your policy is opposed.
Then all those who oppose it become in
dorsers upon bill; and you can justly
hold indorcers upon bill, equally RI spon-
sible with the drawers thereof.

CYCLONE IN THE TERRITORY.

Six People Killed and Several Seriously
Ipjured-Great Damage Dono.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Dec. 10 "A special
from Cove, Polk county, reports that 8
destructive cyclone visited Armstrong
Academy, Indian Territory, Fort Washita
and Green at an early hour on Saturday
morning, causing great destruction of
property and loss Of life. Following are
the casualties as far as known:
FRANK ADAMS, United States army,
Washita, killed.
A. B. LINCOLN, Washita, killed.
HENDERSON JACK, Green, killed.
PETER REsoN, Green, killed.
Two children, names unknown, killed.
WILLIAM COvINGTON, Armstrong Acad-
emy, both legs broken.
HENRY WAIT, Washits, arm and leg
broken.
MRS. WAIT, Washita, arn broken.
4 terrific rumbliDg sound was heard
about O'Clock. It startled few settlers
from their sleep only to awake them to
the horror of impending death. A heavy
black cloud, funnel shaped, was seen in
the distance and rapidly approaching.
When about mile north of Fort Washita
it struck the ground, and from this point
south for miles the wo.k of ruin was con-
tinued. The cyclone travelled at the rate
OF q mile a minute. In
On instant after it struck the earth half
the houses N Fort Washita were in ruins
The light houses and dwelling were
picked up and made into kindling wood
by the furious wind. Armstrong academy
was not greatly injured, but the ranches
in the immediate neighborhood suffered
greatly. At Green, q little hamlet six
miles south OF Armstrong, the damage
was very heavy and many persons were
Injured. Seventeen houses and general
store were carried away bodily, while
horses and cattle within the territory
covered by the storm king were killed or
MANNED. The damage at this time can
not of course be estimated as the full eX-
tent is not known. Two children killed
at Green were carried about sixty yards
by the wind and dashed to the ground
maugled so IS to be almost unrecogniZa-
bic. Many cattle and other stock were
also killed by lightning. The storm only
lasted about six minutes st any one point.

AS a DIFFERENT

Speaking of the movement in behalf OF
immigration to Texas, the Dallas News
says:
Already the papers in the other states are
talking about the agitation, and the farmers
aud mechanics of the old states are on inquiry
as to when the cheap tickets are to be put on
sale. In fact letters have been received by
Dallas parties from friends and acqua.ntances
in other states asking Information in regard to
the rumors that they have heard about the
move. A Georgia man has written to an &C
quaintance in Dallas to know If 1t Ia a fact that
Texas is going to be thrown open to settlement,
and If 80 to notify him at his earliest conven-
Ter ce, as he wishes to avail himself of the OPP
porlunitY to homestead place before all the
good land is taken. This inquiring friend
from Georgia evidently confounds Texas with
the Indian Territory, and is under the impress
sion that Texas / 8 still in the hands of the abo.
rhymes. The impression of the georgia man in
regard to Texas Is shared by large delegations
of people In most of the states east of the Mis-
sissippi, and jucicious distribution of Texas
Literature among those people will 90 much to
correct the Impression that thu state is pre-
cisely in the condition 1t was at the time OF the
fall OF The Alamo.
It will not answer the argument against
the lease law, implied in the inquiry OF
this Georgia man, to sheer at his igno-
rance. The people Of Texas themselves
may know that certain lands in the state
are "open to settlement" after some pub
lie official has declared them fit for agri-
cultural purposes, but the feet of this
classification of public lands" is to ad-
vertise to the world that it requires an
official Investigation 10 determine the
agricultural adsptability OF the public
lands; and the lease law advertises the
west as fit only for grazing purposes,
since no men Outside Of Texas can con-
ceIve of the good to result from leasing
lands suitable to agriculture.
Sneers at this Georgian do not reply
to the impression made On home seekers
in other states, or remove it. The lease
law is based upon the unfitness of the
lands for agricultural pursuits. and that
law upon the statute books OF Texas is
notice to the world that, in the deliberate
Judgment of Texas lawmakers, the

as to require legislation for the
promotion of calf-raising rather than of
baby-reising.
For years The GAZETTE has urged the
deterrent influence of the lease law on
immigration, in that it gives public and
official notice that vast areas OF Texas
land are of necessity set apart to the use
of the cattle king, and people who fear to
come in contact with the dreaded "cow-
boys" stay away from Texas. And the
"official classification" is public notice OF
the worthlessness of great bodies OF
Texas lands.
The Georgia man expressed the general
outside opinion concerning Texas, and,
if it is deemed profitable to Texas to re.
move that opinion, the lease law with its
classification" of lands should be re-
pealed; and the home-seekers Of the
world will be thus officially notified tha
Texas is "opened for settlement"

REVERSING THE PRECEDENTS

REVERSING THE PRECEDENTS.
Certain Texas newspapers have con-
tended that if the people of the state will
gather together the passengers and point
them out to the railroads, the latter will
me- ke rate to bring them here.
This is reversal of all business meth
DDS unprecedented.
A merchant does not require guaran
teed custom before laying in stock OF
goods, but buys his goods, arranging
them in attractive show cases, advertises
them to the public, and employs drum
mers to present stock and prices to the
buyers.
The newspaper prints the news to at
tract readers, and does not demands guar
an teed circulation before doing so.
So should the railroads act. Make cheap
excursion rate, advertise it to the world,
employ drummers to work the business
and the people who are seeking invest
ments and homes will be attracted and
induced to buy.
The railroads will derive not only the
first benefit from an influx of people into
Texas but q permanent advantage from
an increase in population of the state;
and the railroads should take the lead in
this movement. and thus build up pub
lie spirit in Texas and bind the people to
them in friendship and good will.

THE MEETING TO-DAY.

The meeting which assemblies at Dallas
to-day, as the result of an agitation begun
on the 25th OF last month, has In its
power the accomplishment Of much good
to Texas. The obstacles to that accom-
plishment are not q few. The DISPOSE
ton of the average American to air his
views on any and every subject of public
concern is deadly foe to time and action.
The inherent selhshness of human nature
seeks to pervert every public move
ment to private advantage. The crank,
like the poor, we have always with us.
The gentleman with an idea is never
absent from the public meeting. The
man with q remedy is indigenous to
American soil. The compact, disciplined
opposition to any change In the existing
order of things is ever ready to seize on
and utilize all forces of disruption, and
the classes enumerated above will re-
ceive encouragement. Therefore, those
who attend the convention to-day
to promote its avoWed purpose
have need to watch and pray.
Speechmaking should be squelched; sec
tional, municipal. and individual selnshness
should be Kissed into silence; the crank
should be invited to hire his own hall;
the foes to action should be given prompt
and emphatic notice that the convention
meets to do something for Texas, and

that side issues will not be permitted to
confuse and defeat it's aims.

tunt sue issues Will not De perm1tteQ 10
confuse and defeat its aims.
The convention meets to promote the
uphuildiDg OF the state, and brief, prac-
ticsl discussion Of what has not been
done and what ought to be done are
necessary to action, but elimination and
recrimination can avail only to defeat the
purpose Of the convention. Every factor
that enters into the promotion OF
the aim and end of the conVen-
ton deserves respectful considers
ton. For this meeting can be
made the initisl step in grand move
ment of Texas, that will disclose all its
needs and discover all its possibilities.
That the convention may faithfully and
intelligently perform its allotted work is
the prayer of the thousands who have be-
come so profoundly impressed with the
urgent need for some action that will re-
suit in railroad excursions into Texas,
instead of excursions out of Texas, as is
now the case to the depletion of the state.
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-12-20

EVERY factor in the problem Of immi-
grafton to Texas deserves consideration,
but no time should be wasted and no
wrangling be allowed to the detriment Of
the adoption Of the main question. which
is: cooperation Of railroads and people.
The railroads to give as cheap rates to
Texas as to any other state, and the peo-
pie to advertise the resources and ad-
vantages of the state.

Prote cling Pine.
Philadelphia Record.

There is very little pine timber land
left in the northern states. Under the
stimulus of tariff duty of 20 per cent.
on imported rough timber, and 81 per
1000 feet on rough lumber, the home
market has been monopolizad by home
manufacturers, and our splendid forests
nave been nearly destroyed. Such ofthe
government timber lands which have not
been given away to railroad companiss
have been mainly sold to SPECTATORS at
prices ranging from s1.25 to $3.50 per
acre. The tariff bounty on pine landsqf
